Isn’t there just a video we could watch?
Isn't there just an article I can read faster than the video takes...?
Yeah; just set your article to 2x speed :D
I kid; all this video is going to vanish one day, and the text will remain.
And for most things, text is a highly superior format. Sometimes you need a few images or a video clip to supplement it, but I like to ingest information while my ears are otherwise occupied. I keep my phone and computer muted most of the time. I often watch videos with closed captioning enabled on 2x just to scrub through and find the 10 seconds of actual information in the 15 minute video.
Nah.
